New York resident Morgan Gaughan was driving an estimated 70 to 90 miles per hour on Route 6 just before the head-on crash at noon on Nov. 1 that killed him, according a police report.

Gaughan, 42, was thrown from the 2005 Subaru he was driving toward Provincetown after it crossed a median, went airborne and hit a 1978 Mercedes-Benz that was headed out of Provincetown on Route 6.

The impact of the crash caused the front airbags in the Subaru to deploy and the steering wheel to be thrown from the vehicle.

Gaughan was taken by medical helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston where he was declared dead at 3:13 p.m. The cause of his death was blunt force trauma to the head and torso, Cape and Islands First Assistant District Attorney Michael Trudeau said Friday. A toxicology report from the state medical examiner’s office is pending.

The driver of the Mercedes-Benz, Jesse Cartwright, 34, of North Truro, had cuts on his legs and face, and he was taken to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis. Cartwright was treated at the hospital and released the day of the crash.

The Subaru that Gaughan was driving, which was totaled in the crash, was owned by Heather Collins of North Truro.

Gaughan had spent his youth in Sequim, Washington, and Michigan, according to an obituary at Peninsula Daily News Online. He graduated from the University of Washington with studies in international studies and economics. He lived a decade in Hong Kong before moving to New York City.
